Cont..
Pletsch (1981): 3RD World is the neutral contested part of the

Today: under developed or simply poor
This assumes that the world is divided into;

Characteristics of 3rd World
Have less technological integration within their own

![Cont.. From the liberation side, purpose of development is assumed](/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&fit_contain&s_1440x1080/imagesDir/jpg/256547/slide-16.jpg)
Cont..
From the liberation side, purpose of development is assumed to be
freedom from oppression and personal and communal empowerment..the development communication process must support these goals..
From the above, development communication is not message exchange but rather, emanicipatory communication that will free people to determine their own futures.
Development communication involves issues at all levels of consideration
